Where I see the problem is in the idea that it's not identified as PDF. I'm sure Diesel has a page where they explain their formats and terminology, but if they're selling PDFs they should identify the format, not just the DRM scheme.
Sure, they may call DRM epub something else, but referring to a format by the name of a DRM scheme it shares with at least one other format just isn't good enough. It's bad form and it's sloppy.

I've had no problems with RPG books in PDF, even on a smaller reader like my old iRiver Story HD. Still no problems with my TF300. PDF handles illustrations, diagrams, and sidebars just that much better than ePUB.
I'd also argue that textbooks are better as PDFs instead of ePUBs. That way we don't have to cave to peoples' demands that we waste time on an equation markup language. The damn thing would probably end up being first in an ePUB writer's manual, which would drive off people who weren't Math majors and will never need to use it.
